I've decided to (attempt to) make a hack/mod/whatever of Fire Red. The title as of now is "Pokemon Orange". It's completely tentative, and will undoubtedly be changed later. The details are hazy for now, but as soon as I get them weeded out, I'll post them here.

Here are the details I have as of now:

All the Leaders and Elites will have names that relate to their specialty type, just like in the real games.

Also, all the towns' names will be the names of elements of the periodic table that do not end in "-ium". Examples: Wolfram City, (I say wolfram, not tungsten) Xenon Town, Boron Village....

The Sevii Islands will be an archipelago, connected by bridges. They will be renamed to the Roden islands, and they will be renamed after rodents, namely the rat, marmot, beaver, squirrel, gopher, capybara, and cavy/guinea pig.

Updates:I've turned Viridian into an icy crater. Blame Kyurem. I've also nearly demolished Pewter, it's just a tiny village now. Cinnabar was relocated to the end of Cerulean Cape. It just felt empty there.The Power Plant has been converted into a dam, and the legendary birds will be moved to a secret area. Also, Viridian City (Read: Xenon Crater) will be accessed from where Articuno once stood. Rock Tunnel will also now be a training area, much like Iron Island. It will still need Flash, though. Also, all 386 Pokemon will be available. The starters can be obtained from wild encounters, Hoenn and Johto Pokemon will run free in the Roden Islands, and those stupid event-only items will be obtained via non-event means.

I've got an idea for a Pokemon hack, it's all fleshed out, but I can't put it into game format. Any kind hack makers want to help?

I will start work again eventually, the project has not been cancelled. Expect an influx of updates and stuff over the summer; I've just had school and everything. I also forgot it existed during March Break, so yeah. Sorry.

Sorry for the long wait. I totally forgot about it, even though the icon for the file was right on my desktop. Well, now that it's summer, I should get a chance to work on it.

And Charizard, you need tools. They're available everywhere. I mainly use these tools:

AdvanceMap for editing map layouts and Wild PokemonAdvanceText for editing what NPCs sayP.E.T. for editing Trainer dataRSBall for editing battle spritesOverworld Editor R.E. for editing overworld spritesPaint.net for editing other artVisual Boy Advance for playing the game

P.E.T. and RSBall are available from Elitemap in a pack, but I only use those two; the others I don't.

Charizard, some advice: If you're going to make a hack, use Fire Red as a base. It has an available INI file, so text editing is a breeze. A hex editor isn't required, regardless of what many people tell you. And if you get stuck on ideas, move on. There's no required order, although I recommend doing the simpler things first, as then you'll get more accomplished.

Also, don't worry about a storyline. An antagonist is not required. If you want a storyline, just think about your region. What is the geography? What main buildings are there? Are there any roadblocks? If you still get stuck, don't be afraid to look to past Pokemon games for inspiration.

Some final parting words of advice: It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks of your hack. As long as you like it, it's good.

Also, don't think that I've abandoned the project due to the lack of updates. I just got off school, so a slew of updates should be coming in the next two months.

See you all,

-FI

oh and seeing you changing sudowoodo, may i suggest changing Gastly and evos to Ghost/Dark simply due to that they dont even learn a Posion type move by level-up

I don't know if this would classify as "well put-together", but I try.

Also, if I make Gastly Ghost/Dark, should I do the same for Haunter and Gengar?

what i mean by 'well put-together' is that its different to the original and stands out against other hacks but i will still be looking forward to try it out, is this your first attempt at a hack?

well it would be logical to do so, but its your choice if you actually do change it

I have some horrible news: I got a new computer and forgot to put the files over. The project is, well, screwed. But I will get it up again. I suck at time management. Oh well. I've got NO progress now, but I will try to recreate what I had as best as I can. I'm currently working on gym badge redesigns (they won't be in the game, consider them "concept art"). I'll download the file I uploaded on Mediafire and work from there. I'm sorry that I have to break this news to you all, you've been really supportive, but, as I said before, the project WILL get done (eventually).

Again, sorry,-FI
